Phillips v. Volvo Penta (Cal. Ct. App. - June 4, 2026)

The Court of Appeal holds today that when a boat engine manufacturer warranties the boat engine and then replaces the engine when that engine no longer works, that's sufficient under the Song–Beverly Consumer Warranty Act -- the engine manufacturer doesn't have to replace the entire boat.

To which my reaction was, and remains, this:

Duh.
